Yay! You like it (: . Thank you to all who have reviewed! It makes me happy (:

So, here is another chapter lol.

Disclaimer: I dont want to get yelled at again; so again, I dont own Twilight. But I do own a dog (:


And there we lay…

I had never been happier. Even when I had been human and with Sam. This calm, full feeling that was filling me from the inside out as Jacob lay beside me. Jacob…I could care less that if I was angry I would morph into a dog. I could care less that our bodies pressed together could easily start a fire. Jacob had come back and was now lying on Emily's couch with me.

Even though kissing Jacob Black demanded all of your attention, I had flinched when his hand had tightened on my hurt ribs. He quickly rearranged us on the couch; snuggled close and comfortable. He told me his story between kissing me lovingly on the forehead.

Jacob had received a letter from Edward after the great fight against the newborns. After he read this letter, he was heartbroken. He didn't know what was left for him… He ran off to "clear his head". His voice cracked as he talked of the things he thought whenever he was in his human form. He had no idea how he could live with this feeling forever. I held him close, hoping my presence was some consolement.

And then it hit him. Sitting on a lake edge; holding his sides tightly as if to keep from breaking apart; he knew what Bella felt without Edward. He explained how Bella would hold herself the same way if anyone even mentioned the Cullen's when they had left last winter. Jacob said he could barely breathe over the pain. How could he ask Bella to suffer as he was? How could he keep breaking her heart over and over again?

Jacob went to the wedding and told Bella he wished her well. He was allowed to dance with her; hold her softly in his arms once more. He didn't ask about the change, didn't ask her again to say that she loved him; because he knew. Tears ran freely down my face. Jacob smiled and wiped them away, kissing me again.

He told me not to cry. He told me he let Bella go. He would always have her in his heart. But, he had a rather large heart. He could fit me there as well. I tried to ask him if my space was bigger then the one forever given to Bella; but I knew the answer and didn't want to hear him say so.

The one reason Jacob came back was because of me. He knew what heartache was and wanted to do anything he could to make it stop… He never wanted anyone to hurt again… I did ask if he loved me. I at least had to know that. He was silent for a moment before he answered; choosing his words carefully. Through a rush of air, he explained.

"I do love you Leah. But not as much as Bella… Not yet anyway. I will; or I hope I will, someday. But I do love you…" I took it. My heart burned to be whole. But, if his heart was to be split it two for now, so would mine. Time was the only thing that was going to make us whole again. I was just glad my heart was on its way to being repaired.

Time was the only thing that was going to count. Time was the thing that was going to make him forget Bella. I was happy; he was here with me… Time and love worked together…


2 weeks later

Screw time!

"Jacob…" I was saying through tight lips, "I swear to god…If you take one step closer…"

"You'll what? Slap me again? Go ahead!"

Jacob and I stood toe to toe in my bedroom. We had just gotten back from patrol (I had returned to my regular duties now that Jacob was back). There was nothing to watch for; but Sam demanded that we do it anyway. We were fighting because of what he had been thinking about while we were on patrol.

We had made a pact between ourselves. Neither myself, the pack, nor Jacob were allowed to say the words Cullen or Bella. But, Jacob broke the rules; almost everyday. He still thought of Bella. I read his mind while we were in our wolf form. I tried my hardest not to let his thoughts mix with mine; I tried every minute to stay separate. But today he had gone too far. While we walked the forest, he thought of Bella and me; comparing our looks. I was happy my hair was prettier then Bella's drab brown locks. But I was fuming my black eyes were nothing compared to her perfect chocolate ones…

Jacob had caught my anger and followed me home after our shift was over. Once back in our human form, I had slapped him and told him to leave me alone; I didn't want him to touch me at the moment. He ignored my order, as he usually did, and had come into my room. He said he was sorry and was trying to hug me. Damn him! Why couldn't he think of Bella when we weren't wolves!

"Just…Just go home Jacob. I'll be okay…" I let the tears fall. This was our first fight and my heart was being beaten to smithereens. Damn him… Damn heart…

"No. I'm going to stay here so we can talk…" He plopped onto the ground, folding his legs neatly under. I fell onto my bed; rubbing my temples. I wanted to be left alone…

We sat in silence. Jacob picked at the old carpet and I continued to rub my head. My stomach rumbled in agitation and I caved. I sat up, slapped my hands on my knees, and stared into Jacob's face.

"Okay… New rule. You are never allowed to compare my body to Bella's or any girl's again. I don't do that to you and Sam."

"True."

"I can't make you stop thinking about her… And I'm not going to try… Just leave me out of it. Like you said, your heart is split in two… So leave me and her apart…"

"Done." He smiled and came over to where I still sat.

Jacob may have been only seventeen; but he sure did know how to kiss. He pushed me back as his long body came to lie on top of mine. He kissed me deeply, his hands twisting tight in my long hair. My mouth opened with no persuasion and his tongue swept inside. I bit him gently as he sunk deeper. Our stomach's growled in unison. We pulled apart reluctantly.

I made grilled cheese and soup; using almost ten cans for there to be enough between the three of us. Seth and Jacob sat at the table, flicking a paper football between each other. I chucked the football at Seth's head when he made the little ball fall in my soup and it splattered on my clothes. He ran off to the bathroom to wash off the soup from his face, laughing. I placed the soup in front of Jacob; kissing him on the cheek. As I pulled away, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me down again, only to kiss me hard. He chuckled to himself when he let me up and I looked and felt dazed.

As I walked over to get my own bowl, he said, "You cook almost as well as Bella."

My heart shattered… Damn…


I know, another cliff hanger (: . I'm not trying to be mean, the chapter's just sound good if they stop there lol.

I was going to make this story short because I'm not sure who Jacob is going to end up with in Breaking Dawn. But, I've decided it doesn't matter… I like Jacob/ Leah to much.

Hope everyone enjoys Breaking Dawn!!

Read and Review please! Any suggestions?!
